Heterogeneous Electrode Processes and Localized Corrosion

Sheds new light on the significance of electrode
inhomogeneity and electrochemical heterogeneity

A major contribution to the field of electrochemistry, this
book—based on a thorough review of the literature and author
Yongjun Tan's twenty years of pioneering research—examines
electrochemical heterogeneity and its effects on non-uniform
electrode processes. The book focuses on localized corrosion,
uneven electrodeposition, and non-uniform electrodissolution.
Readers will learn all the core fundamentals, experimental methods,
and engineering aspects of localized corrosion and other important
heterogeneous electrode processes. In particular, readers will
learn core methods to quickly calculate corrosion rates and study
electrode inhomogeneity and electrochemical heterogeneity.

Heterogeneous Electrode Processes and Localized Corrosion
begins with a review of homogeneous electrode models and uniform
corrosion measurements and then explores probing electrode
inhomogeneity, electrochemical heterogeneity, and localized
corrosion. Next, the book examines:

Designing experiments to study localized corrosion and its
inhibition in inhomogeneous media

Sensing localized electrodeposition and electrodissolution

Exploring versatile heterogeneous electrode processes

Throughout the book, there are case studies with maps that
illustrate key aspects of heterogeneous electrode processes. In
addition, the author provides plenty of examples that enable
readers to fully grasp core concepts of electrochemical
heterogeneity and its relationship to non-uniform electrode
processes.

Reviewing the experimental findings presented in this book,
electrochemists will gain a better appreciation and understanding
of the fundamental significance of electrode inhomogeneity and
electrochemical heterogeneity.

YONGJUN TAN is currently Associate Professor of Applied Electrochemistry and Corrosion Technology at Deakin University, Australia. Dr. Tan invented the wire beam electrode method and developed a localized corrosion probe. He has contributed to the development of the electrochemical noise analysis technique and the understanding of noise signatures. Dr. Tan has authored or coauthored more than 100 scientific and technical publications in the fields of electrochemistry and corrosion science.
